Shearer: I am delighted for Southgate that his decisions came off

Alan Shearer speaking to BBC about England's victory over Wales at the 2022 World Cup:

- I am delighted for Southgate that his decisions came off.

He gets plenty of stick for not making the right tactical or selection decisions, or using the right substitutes at the correct time, so we have to give him credit for being spot on against Wales.

He not only brought Foden and Rashford in on the flanks, but at half-time he decided to switch their positions around and it made a big difference - they looked happier like that, and they got our goals.

It was not just Southgate's selection that worked, though. It was his tactics too.

We were measured and mature in the first half, but we upped the tempo after the break and got our reward. Once we went 1-0 up, the game was over, and it was just a question of how many we would get.
